Think of a Famous Dog.

[Dorothy39]

Okay, I've thought of another Famous Dog.

Remember the movie, "Down and Out in Beverly Hills"? starring Nick Noltie, Richard Dryfuss, Bette Midler, Little Richard.& many other great actors.

"Matiese." He was a Border Collie ( ) in the movie who suffered bouts of anxiety. He was well trained for the part. i.e., He could call 911 on the telephone. Little Richard plugged the movie on "The Johnny Carson show" but said that "Matiese" bit him during filming.

Matiese was counsiled by a Dog Therapist, Dr. Von (something or other) .

Dr. Von Zimmer? This movie is hilarious.

My Daughter bought a Sheltie years ago and named him Matiese. I have to look up that movie now to get the name of the artist that this dog was named after. I know I have mis-spelled the name.
